W. Wesiervelt, Principal. Y.M.C.A. Balding, London, from precedent to ,precedent, If the honest and observing elector should view your course, in regard to tem- perance, with charity, he will con - elude that you are at least too weak and vacillating to remain Premier of Ontario. "Deplores" Corruption. It is sometimes said that you and your colleagues aro not responsible for the corrupt acts of Liberal or- ganizers anct agents. You have, on several occasions, encouraged this theory by declaring that you were not in favor of corruption„ and would stop it, if you could. I. think the word you used was "deplore. You deplored the co'r'ruption. Once at least you exclaimed, "righteousness exalteth a nation:" On other. oc- casions you took high ground in re- gard to political purity and denoun- ced political rascality ih the ab- stract. The sworn statement of. Mr... Hale, your candidate in Renfrew, would indicate that an enormous suxn of money was promised for his elec- tion by one of your ministers. Of whish, Mr. Stratton denies this, but Mr. 'Stratton denies nearly 'every- thing. There is no doubt. that Mr. ':'ale's statement is correct; he has not found it necessary to make many denials. The evidence in the Sault inquiry involved your Government The evidence in the West Elginease touched your Government. Beside all this, when you "deplored the scandals; one' would think you would have tried to stop them, It seems never to' have occurred to you to re- fuse to retain office by a majority obtained by corruption. It did not even occur to you to give the courts time to determine whether you held office •by corruption or the will of the people. If you "deplored" the evil I would have thought you would not have hastened the meeting of the Legislature, but rather delayed it that the truth in regard to your elec- tion might. be known.. When you "deplored" the evil why did you not prosecute the culprits? You did not have the excuse of not knowing who they were;: the judges named them. You and you alone controlled the machinery of the law. When a private individual tried to bring the villainy of the Government before the public, the courts were used to frustrate . his efforts. At the Sault certain men were named for corrupt practices. The Controverted Election Act says that "it shall be the duty of the Crown Attorney &to prosecute such persons." The Crown Attorney at the• Sault not only neg- lected to do his duty, but declined to enforce the law when appealed to by a private prosecutor. The At- torney -General, who holds office at your pleasure, far from insisting on the Crown Attorney at the Sault en- forcing the law,- himself refuses aid, when appealed to by the private pro- secutor. When the private prosecu- tor' went to the courts he was op- posed by the recognized counsel of. your Government. Why did you not have the Crown Attorney at the Sault dismissed when, notwithstand- ing his oath of -office, he refused to do his : duty? Why didyou not ask the Attorney -General to resign and choose a successor who would .do his duty if you were sincere when you "deplored" the evil and were of the opinion. that "righteousness exalteth a nation?"• Protection to Culprits. Your protection of the culprits is strong evidence that they are work- ing for you, and that, in some way, they receive their pay from you. Under your administration the law refuses to punish the ' man' who transgresses in order to keep you in power; but the same law will move With alacrity and ferocity, as in the Callaghan Case, against one who will dare to say anything against you or your Government, . Callaghan, in anaffidavit, made statements more or less damaging to your 'Government. At erica he . was prosecuted on a charge of theft which had no connection with the attidavit;.. Of intent to sue 1 a in myopinion, pin on, and int e h opinion of many com- petent to - judge, he was not guilty. There are many judges who, if ithad been their duty to try the case, would have so directed the jury, It was a case ra which the Grown might have taken a most lenient view. But the Crown had seventeen jurors, chat- aenged in its effort to convict this man, whose' real offence was that his statements reflected upon your Gov- ernment. Such is the administration of justice under your Government. Such is the barbarism. of Russia. It has been your custom to pose as a patriot and reformer while you "de- 'plored" political corruption and ex- pressed your desire to stop it, You have used many apt quotations in your speeches; let are suggest one for future use. It is this: "When Dr. Johnston defined the word patriot- ism as the last refuge of a scoundrel, he had not learned the infinite possi- bilities of the word reform." Keep Them he Favor. Not only have you not prosecuted the offenders who have been named by the judges, but you have 'not repudiated them and • have retained them as organizers and agents of the Liberal party.+ Why did you not drive out of the party the Sullivans, the Boles, the Sutlierlands, the Van- ces, the . Gilligans, the Ilewitts, the Pritehetts, the Oahills, the Lewises, the Palmers, the leVildfoiigs, the Jack- sons, and other agents who have been engaged in disreputable political work for the Government? You are now receiving the benefit of their labors and are holding office on ac- count of what they have done. You "deplore" the evil and declare you would like to stop it, and, at the same time, you are very careful to retain an Attorney -General who will not move against the evil' -deers: You make loud professions and con- tinue to be a receiver of stolen goods, filched from the liberties of the people, by the worst gang of political desperadoes which has ever figured inCanadian courts. I have often wondered what was your can- did opinion,, of yourself, A section of the Liberal press 3t making a great effort to have yo.t judged by what you promise rather than by what you have date, Doubt - lost you would prefer this test. This was partly the'objeet in calling the Liberal Convention. The press is calling for a forward movement, and you have requested the people to forget the ugly past, Forgetting seems to be a favorite occupation with your Cabinet. You have de- sired toseal the, black record of your administration with "seven. seals." I presume you employ that phrase be- cause seven is a Bible number, and you like the phraseology of Scrip- ture, or because . the seven members of the Cabinet wish to have part in hiding and sealing the 'disgraceful re- cord. 'The public will not be mis- lead, however, and will judge you by your record, What a record for a Liberal Government! It is said that when a man is about to be drowned the events of his past life pass through his mind, You are now in very deep water and I would like to recall some of the events which will probably soon be flitting through your mind, -if the procession has not already started, The .following are a few of them: the Maybee pamphlet: your speech at Madoc in favor of Lott: the West Elgin frauds: the burning of the ballots: the conceal- ment, by the Government, of the burning of the ballots:. the Macnish confession: the appointment through tho influence of Hon, E. .1 Davis of Cummings as deputy returning offi- cer, and the subsequent naming by the judges of Cummings for fraud: the offer to buy Donald Sutherland, M.P,P.: the purchase of perjured evi- dence in the South Oxford trial: the offer ,of 810,000 to Mr. Boyd of North Grey: the offer of patronage to Mr. Gamey: The Globe interview with 1VLr. Gamey, which the Hon. Mr. Stratton prepare&, Mr. Gamey's let- ter, promising support to your Gov- ernment, ` and found inyour posses- sion: Captain Sullivans 89,000 tim- ber limit: the payment during the election of men at the Sault: the dis- franchisement of North 'Renfrew: the sworn testimony of Mr. Hale, and the immense sum sent to North Renfrew as an election fund; the guilty ignor- ance of Mr. Stratton and Mr. Davis when in the witness box: the Sault election and the Minnie M.: the re- fusal of the • Attorney -General to prosecute offenders your pledges to the temperance people, and how you kept them 'Evil Day for Liberalism. I think you would hold a higher place in Canadian history if you had never been Premier, or had been de- feated at the last general election. It was an evil day. for Liberalism, for Ontario, for public morality and for yourself, when you came into power. In the app' ,caching contest you may have the suppo —of the now, veteran machine, the personnel of which has not, greatly changed, and which moves from riding to riding, helping, you with its nefarious work, while you publicly deplore its misdeeds and solemnly declare to a confiding pub- lic that "Righteousness exalteth a nation; " you may have the aid of many people who have been deceived in the past, and who will again thoughtlessly vote for your Govern- ment, which is Liberal in name and. the opposite in principle; but there are thousands of Liberals who will not support you and who now hang their heads in shame to see the flag of Liberalism trailed in thedust, that you and your colleagues may re- tain power by chicanery and corrup- tion, Ninety per cent, of the Liber- al party are • right at heart, and would like to do what is best for the Province, but they have too of- ten lost sight of the principles upon which their- party was founded, and have been deceived by the men who hold office andcall themselves Lib- eral leaders, You are a good speaker. You have a cheerful jaunty style, which is quite attractive. On the stump you are, I think, one of the most expert political conjurers of our time,. T would rather hear you speak than read ,your speeches. While you . are . lacking xn literary ex ary instinct you have a stock of standard quotations, and you use some of . them and para- phrase others so that your speeches Sound well. Macaulay is a favorite of yours. How often have we heard you appeal to the brave days of old. when: none was 'for a party and all were for the state. With your stock of poetry you have concealed many a weak point and bridged many' a dan- gerous chasm in your argument. I have. a • quotation in mind. which I will commend to you. It will be more appropriate in the coning con- test than "common rights and equal laws, the glorious dream of Harring- ton, arrington, and Sidney's good old- cause." It, is this: "Nor florid prose, nor honied lies of rhyme Can blazon evil deeds, or consecrate a crime." The Hour Has Struck. - T have personally no ill -will to- wards you. We have not often met, and, on these occasions, I have found you courteous. We have never had any intercourse, which could be the foundation for either a difference or an agreement. Were it not for your public career I would not haveen- tered upon this coreespondence. , My occupation has made ,ane more reti- cent upon public questions than per- haps I had a right to be, but there are, however, times and occasions when a man must not sacrifice his citizenship, when he must be true to his country, no matter what hap- pens to party, and when he must Speak .out, even at the risk of per- sonal loss. Such a time has arrived, and, therefore, do I write to you. I may he mistaken, but I think the hour has struck for your political de- parture. Looking back to the day when, as- a boy, I heard you speak in the Town Hall in Cobotirg, now more than twenty years ago, 1 am Constrained to say, And I assure you'. it is with sincere sorrow, that T be - 'leve that your career has not fulfill- ed its early promise, that you have duped and besmirched a great politi. cal. 'party, which once stood for purity, and that you haveabout completed a rather dark page in Canadian history. I BCIIEV4 ed os Teo. is the best tea in Canada, and I KNOW that a great many people who drink it say it is the best tea they ever used. It is however easy to make statements about what we believe. I think it is better to definite, positive reasons why .an article give is believed to be the best, and if any article has real merit, it should be easy to give convincing reasons. This is just what I propose to do. In the successive issues of this paper I will publish a number of facts and reasons why I believe Red Rose Tea is the best tea in Canada, and why you should use it. - The reasons will be interesting and educative about tea—well worth reading. Before you read many, I think you will want to try the tea and if you buy a pound, the tea itself will do the rest. T. 11. I3STABROOK 9 St. John, N.B. Toronto Winnipeg. A.
